Fig. 3From: Gut microbiota mediated the therapeutic efficiency of Simiao decoction in the treatment of gout arthritis miceDifferences in serum levels of uric acid (A), liver xanthine oxidase activity (B), pain threshold (C), and foot swelling (D) among different groups. CT: control mice; MT: gout arthritis mice; SM: gout mice treated with Simiao decoction; AP: gout mice treated with allopurinol; FSM: gout mice transplanted with fecal microbiota from Simiao decoction-treated gout mice; FAP: gout mice transplanted with fecal microbiota from allopurinol-treated gout mice. “**” indicates p < 0.01; “*” indicates p < 0.05.
